Zayn's POV

"Shit" I hear Harry mumble.

"Shit! Shit! Shit!" He says again. I'm just standing here frozen looking at my feet. I hear the sounds of Liam wandering around, but he doesn't seem to be coming up stairs.

"Why does he have a key?"

"He, Liam, Uh I don't know, I just have him a key" Harry was pacing around the room pulling at he hair. He stops and turned to me. 

"Get into the bathroom" Harry pushes me into the bathroom turning on the shower and pushes me in.

"Uh Harry?"

"Just trust me on this" After about two minutes when I was wet Harry pulled me out the shower and threw a towel at me. I saw Harry looked less sweaty and was wearing sweat pants. I wrapped the towel around my waist.

"Okay here the plan. I'll go downstairs first and talk to Liam and you'll come down maybe five minutes after saying you just got out the shower? Okay?" I nod and watch as Harry leaves the room runinng down the stairs to greet Liam. 

I listen them talk for a few minutes before walking out the room and down the stairs. I see Liam sitting on the arm chair. He stand up when he see's me enter the room, he walks over to me giving me a big hug.

"I missed you" I says as he runs his hands through my wet hair. I pull back from the hug looking at how much taller he got.

"I missed you too"

Liam looks down and his shirt which has wet paches on it, then looked over to me. 

"I think I should go change I'll be back" Liam only nod sitting beside Harry talking about his trip and how the job went. I went upstairs to change into blue sweat pants and a grey t-shirt. I walk back into the living room where my brother and Harry were. They were talking about his and Louis' relationship.

I sat down in the empty space next to Harry. He shifts over a bit letting some space between us.

"So how was staying with Harry?"

"It was fun, he's a cool guy" I say as casually as I can.

"Zayn's not an annoying teenager like I thought he'd be" He turns to me and smiles, he puts an arm around my shoulder.

"Anything new happen here" I feel as if Liam was hinting at something.

"No, not that I know of. Zayn?" Harry moves the question on to me and removes his arm from around me.

"Nothing other than you and Louis' relationship"

Liam lets out a laugh.

"Funny you mention relationships because Louis was telling me about how you are in one..." He trails off looking back and forth between Harry and I he continues, 

"He said with a person I'm fairly close with" He looks at Harry and Harry looks at the ground. 

He knows he fucking knows, Liam's waiting for one of us to crack and tell him but I won't do it and I know Harry wouldn't either. He sighs and goes on. The sigh wasn't a tired sigh or one of saddness, no it was one like he was fed up.

"Why you sitting next to Harry, Zayn?" 

"Because I-" Liam cuts me off.

"You could've sat next to me, but you sat beside him"
